Pegi Eyers is to be commended for her deeply thoughtful, intelligent, inspiring and passionate
compendium text Ancient Spirit Rising.  The knowledge, spirit, and generosity of this book is
of priceless value.   It is an honest testimony of the past and a vision into the future. 
Ancient Spirit Rising can be experienced slowly one chapter at a time, and the book
concludes in poem prayer (poesis - to make, to create) to begin again.
Ancient Spirit Rising awakens us, and it is an essential, important, and healing
experience to be taken into hand, heart and mind, again and again.

Learning from First Nations
Brings Great Responsibility

The award-winning book Ancient Spirit Rising: Reclaiming Your Roots & Restoring Earth Community by Pegi Eyers delves into intercultural competency skills, the path to reconciliation, and earth connectivity for all people.  With extensive notes and exhaustive references Ancient Spirit Rising digs deep, and provides clear and concise guidelines to important questions. What were the foundational nation-to-nation agreements in the Americas? What can be done to right the wrongs of history? How can we effectively make change?
In her quest to discover the truth about the First Nations/Settler divide, Pegi's bonds to the natural world provided the anchor for her thinking and writing process.  She sees herself as part of a new generation who are “awake and aware” and combine social justice with peacemaking and other spiritual paths.

Ancient Spirit Rising also examines New Age ideologies and the phenomena of cultural appropriation, and how our return to earth-emergent practices can replicate the same colonial agendas we are attempting to dismantle. Instead of appropriating from indigenous people, there are more balanced ways to re-land and rewild ourselves, and Ancient Spirit Rising offers modalities for authentic self-identity in the rejuvenation of a specific heritage or ethnoculture.  In fact, what better place to source the tools and worldviews we need moving forward, than from our own Ancestry?  In the wisdom of the past we may find the seeds for the future.
Reviving the ancestral ways can be our best strategy in an era of massive change and climate disaster. For all who hear the “call of the wild,” or are yearning for a more intimate relationship with the land, today’s exciting movements in animism, rewilding, voluntary simplicity, eco-living and sustainable community are all outlined in Ancient Spirit Rising. An all-inclusive blend of cultural studies, social commentary, neurodecolonization, ecospirituality and practices for recovering the Old Ways, Ancient Spirit Rising  is a compendium for change!
